The Skeksis and The Mystics and Two Gelflings

I've been listening to the Steve of many Wonders in my car. And, at home I listen to some random songs I bought until I get my ipod back. They include MIKA, Regina Spektor, Imogen Heap, and I'm ashamed to say....the Mamma Mia soundtrack. Shun me if you must.

I think I might watch the Dark Crystal for the millionth time before I go to sleep.

I read the Secret Life of Bees finally, therefore I can watch the movie now. It's a cute book, kind of strange in some parts...but that might be why I like it.

I also went to see The Time Traveler's Wife last weekend. The movie was really good, it was a lot like the book. The book was really raunchy, though. I'm not a fan of that. The movie wasn't bad in that aspect, the raunch was kept to a minimum. Props to the director.

My dad told me to stop making the coffee so strong because he can't even handle it. I told him to stop being a wimp and drink it like a man. He didn't find it as funny as I did.

I fell asleep on the couch for a little while, and when I woke up the stock market channel was on. No wonder I fell asleep......stocks=the most boring market of all markets. I love farmer's markets, flea markets, etc. Stock markets not so much.

My current project: I'm turning an old text book into a sculptural book. I'm cutting a square out of the middle of a lot of pages so it makes like a secret place to put things. Then, I'm going to decorate the outside of the textbook in Jane Austen theme--with flowers and vintageness. It's gonna be a good time. Plus, I just really like turning a stupid old Personal Finance book into something artsy and happy.

Take that stock market. Even your silly little books aren't safe.

I got a whole bunch of free books from the library:

-The Philippines' Fight for Freedom
-Make Your Own Professional Movies
-Knickenbocker's History of New York
-Six Who Dared
-Journey Through the Land of Eloquent Silence
-The Land and People of Chile
-Mother India's Children
